REDISCOVER CTMH 2014

We recently attended

 Close to My Heart's Rediscover CTMH 2014 in Seattle.

  What a fun night we shared with many of our local CTMH sisters as we rediscoved what we love about Close to My Heart. 

 Awards were presented, artwork was shared, and cards exchange. Kristine shared some new and exciting things to come,

 and we did two fabulous Make & Takes,

 a beautiful necklace and a fabulous mini album.

These are some of the ladies from our team.

SCRAPBOOK RETREAT

    What a great time we had in Packwood this last week for our third annual Scrapbook Retreat.  We had eight in attendance and  made it a productive week. 

 Of course there is always time to go

 into Packwood for our favorite

 Taco Pizza - yummy- and ice cream breaks. 

    We always have enough food to feed an army,

 but at least most of it was healthy food. 

 There were late evenings for the night owls,

 early mornings for the get up and goers,

 walks, chatting, Cricuts humming - all day-, 

 hot tubing and eating.

    We're already planning next year - can't wait! 

 Thanks to Amy and Kurt Craig

 for the use of their lovely cabin.

Annette, Sonia, Sharon, & Linda

Tori, Sierra, Derba & Judith

Everyone's working!

Some are relaxing - I promised to NOT put in the hot tub pictures!

Eating of course!

And lastly packing to go home.

Be sure to come back for some of

 the wonderful projects we did while there.

HAPPY CREATING!

UNIT MEETING

I thought I'd share some of our team

 from our May Unit Meeting.

  We always have a lot of fun. 

 Here we are busy making our monthly project. 

 These meetings are both for the business builder

 and the hobbyists we have.  

You too can join us.  Just ask me how.  

Cindy, Nina, Sharon, Linda C. and Linda H.

JUST CREATING!

BACK FROM CONVENTION

I just returned late Monday night (technically Tuesday morning) from the Close To My Heart annual Convention in Florida.

 It was fabulous! 

 The new catalog that will debut August 1st is beautiful! 

 I know you will love it as much as I do!  

  We had such a great time visiting the parks,

 seeing the sights, sharing ideas, trading cards
 and renewing friendships.

 Join my team and join us at Convention next June...

in DisneyLand!

I will be posting pictures of my roomies shortly.

  I would never have met such lovely ladies if it weren't for

 Close to My Heart.  

OPEN HOUSE THANK YOU!

 NEW "Close to My Heart" Idea Book Release.
